Stephen Miller needed to be escorted off a CNN set on
Sunday.

His appearance on "State of the Union" ended abruptly
after host Jake Tapper pressed him on damaging claims about
President Donald Trump.

Tapper said Miller was speaking "to an audience of
one."

Two sources close to the situation told Business Insider that
after the taping was done, Miller was politely asked to leave
several times.

He ignored those requests and ultimately security was called and
he was escorted out, the sources said.

CNN declined to comment on this story.

Miller's appearance on the cable network quickly
went off the rails when Tapper pressed him on explosive
claims about President Donald Trump that appeared in the book
"Fire & Fury: Inside The Trump White House" by Michael
Wolff.

Miller repeatedly attempted to pivot the conversation toward
criticism of CNN, a favorite target of Trump's. He then referred
to Trump as a "political genius" and lamented his treatment
during the interview, leading Tapper to reply that there was only
"one viewer you care about right now."
